People are asked to limit non-essential water use to between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. or 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Residents are also asked to limit outdoor water use to either even or odd dates, depending upon their street addresses, officials said.

"At this time, we need everyone's help to ensure that the city continues to have adequate water capacity and pressure during this demanding time", said Jon Branson, Pearland assistant city manager.

For more information about the voluntary watering schedule or the Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan, please call the Public Works Department at (281) 652-1900.

The dry conditions have created water issues in other area cities as well.

Galveston and League City ordered mandatory water rationing Thursday because of drought conditions and ongoing repairs to a trunk line from Houston.

Hitchcock, Santa Fe, Bayou Vista and La Marque have called for voluntary conservation.
